What did you guys think of the Blowfish featured in the Feb. 07 Hotrod?

Now that one I really like. The subtle chopped roof and body mods look great with the wing.
The nose cone is a little funky but I guess that's the shape you need to go fast

I forgot to mention that they are running a turbo'd 4 cylinder (don't remember the displacement).  The turbo is good for 35lbs.  :scared:
In the Hotrod article, they say they would like to hit 300mph with this setup, then switch engines (and class) and go for the records in some other categories.

I really like it. It further solidifies Mopar as legitimate. The more accolades our choice of brand recieves, the better for all of us.
What is also very cool is that they said George Poteet, the owner, broke the first record at 255? , or something MPH. The car has capabilities of 300+ mph, so they are going to break the records in increments of 10 mph, letting Troy and some other privledged friends get in the record books. After all, they are as much a part of that car as Poteet is. They said Poteet would be at the wheel for three hundred.
When you can not only break, but shatter a record, especially one at speed in excess of 250 mph, It is like taking a team of Michael Jordans back in time to beat up on the first basketball team ever assembled.
